It’s World Lizard, lizard day!🦎 The Chinese crocodile lizard can be found near freshwater ponds and streams of Southern China and Vietnam. They are mostly active during the day and enjoy feasting on snails, insects and other invertebrates.🪱 Though there are fewer than 1,000 left in the wild due to deforestation & over collection for the pet trade, there are ongoing conservation efforts to help save this unique species. #tennesseeaquarium #lizardday #chattanooga #reptiles #lizards | Tennessee A
